Times changes. Patterns are different. But the family is still the family. It is so good to a part of family. Family habits an
d family jokes make for a special type of fun that can't be celebrated or found anywhere else. My niece made gingerbread mickey mouse's and we had fun eating off the ears and laughing about it. We all found a lot to laugh about. At times we found ourselves in tears over such silly things. We enjoyed going to church together last night and opening our gifts. Then on Christmas day we each ma
de our contributions to our Christmas dinner - that was delicious. After lunch, since we had all overeaten, we sat around semi-comatose laughing and talking. It was sweet for me. The strange thing, however, was having Chuck and Megan leaving early Christmas afternoon to go home since they have to work on the 26th. Everyone commented
what a strange and lonely feeling it was to just have the adults around and no kids to play games, watch videos, etc. It is a sign of transition, times changing and facing the fact of getting older. I used to miss the "good old days" of when we were all children together. Then that passed because we had the second generation. Now they have grown up and we have to wait for our third generation. It's a new feeling to sense that we are the older generation now. I am glad to have been together with my family this year and to celebrate our
changing times.
